Stay (Faraway, So Close!)

Green light, 7-ElevenYou stop in for a pack of cigarettesYou don't smoke, don't even want toHey now, check your changeDressed up like a car crashThe wheels are turning but you're upside downYou say when he hits you you don't mindBecause when he hurts you you feel aliveOh now, is that what it is

Red light, grey morningYou stumble out of a hole in the groundA vampire or a victimIt depends on who's aroundYou used to stay up to watch the advertsYou could lip-synch to the talk showsAnd if you look, you look through meAnd when you talk it's not to meAnd when I touch you, you don't feel a thing

If I could stay, then the night would give you upStay, and the day would keep its trustStay, and the night would be enough

Faraway, so close up with the static and the radioWith satellite television you can go anywhereMiami, New Orleans, London, Belfast and Berlin

And if you listen I can't callAnd if you jump, you just might fallAnd if you shout, I'll only hear youIf I could stay then the night would give you upStay then the day would keep its trustStay with the demons you drownedStay with the spirit I foundStay and the night would be enough

Three o'clock in the morningIt's quiet and there's no one aroundJust the bang and the clatter as an angel runs to groundJust the bang and the clatter as an angel hits the ground
